Yes, you can. I had burned my hand when I was baking brownies for my son. I touched the side of the oven, what a clutz! And then it healed it became dark and just didn’t look good. I figured whatever works for sun spots, will work for the discolored scar. Then a friend told me that she found something that made scar from an accident look better. She used by scar zone until reading a bunch of studies that it’s esentially like putting on petroleum jelly. scar zone is not very expensive, but a lot more than pet-jelly. I started to look for something else, and that's when I found that vitamin c is really important. So I tried strips and some vitamin c creams. I found that Invicible is an awesome scar therapy . Plus, the inventor is a surgeon who deals with breast cancer, so I feel pretty good about that.
